Kentucky's role in the United States Civil War was as important to the Union as it was to the Confederacy in determining the war’s outcome.

In addition to moral, strategic and political considerations, the Civil War truly divided families in Kentucky and so had a tremendous effect on its people. Kentucky offers visitors a significant and unique view on the War Between the States. Visit the links below for more information about Kentucky and the Civil War, and related destinations.
